Is anyone able to toe-heel in their S?

I drove a Porsche 944 before I bought my S and toe-heel was easy, in the S2000 however, it seems cramped and I can't get the angle.

Anyone else having this problem?

 

In my Prelude, I could only do 'heel-on-the-brake', 'toe-on-the-gas' style. In the S2000, I need to reverse that - 'heel-on-the-gas', 'toe-on-the-brake'. With that one change, I've had no problems.

There is a thread in racing and competition about a larger gas pedal right now.

 

I haven't had any problems. I find it to be a lot easier to do in my S than in my Celica.

 

The S2000 is extremely easy to "heal-toe".

Please remember the term heal-toe beckons back to the glory days of racing when cars were not nearly as sophisticated as they are now. Back then pedals were a lot farther apart and it literally required a heal and a toe to span the gap.

Now days in modern cars heal-toe is only an expression. Most of the people I know will admit that it is really toe and side-of-foot.

Specifically for me, I apply the brake with my big toe and my first toe on the right corner of the brake pedal. As I push hard on the pedal I can feel it between those two toes and my toes are on both the top and the side of the pedal so I can use this position as a pivot point. (Driving shoes have relatively thin souls so you can feel the pedals.) Then with the side of my foot, closer to the small toe than the ankle I roll over onto the gas to blip the throttle. Another way to think about it is once the toes are on the brake pedal push your knee over to the center of the car and your foot naturally rolls onto the gas.

Good luck, practice often, and don't try learning this technique at the track, learn it before you go to the track.

 

i used to do it so easy in my 99 civic si on track, maybe i got the sparco REV one piece seat in it.

now in my S, i find some difficulties, cuz the steering wheel can't be adjusted, or stock seat 's not low enough, so my knees touching the steering wheel all time.

 

In the S2K, I find that heel-toeing is quite easy if you get your foot positioning right... I still haven't exactly figured out what the optimal position is, but when you do get it, you can easily slide your heel to the right (while leaving your toe on the brake) and get a nice blip in. I think it also helps a lot to be braking fairly hard, as then the brake pedal (and your toe) is pushed farther down, thus giving you more leverage.
